had been seen OF heard OF the captain
and crew of the schooner up to daylight,
fears we're entertained for tneir safety.
these. however, were set aside on their
arrival this morning on the ferry boat
from Eaucelito. On taking to the small
beat the tide was 90 strong that they
we're carried 10 Esucelit0 before they
could mase q landing. The captain
could not be seen, but Peter Ham en-.
one OF the seameu, made the following
statement tonight: When the captain
realized the danger Of his position, he
cast anchor bas it would not hold.
As soon as the schooner struck, and
knowing the dangerous character Of she
cargo, be ordered out the boat, aad all
left the vessel. As Il vas impossible to
make . landing through the. surf, the
captain ordered the bbaf head d for the
Golden Gate. and the tide earrisd them
to sancelIto."
The cargo vas shipped by Bandmalm,
Nioolsoa 4 o.. Of this city, and vas in-
tended for railroad construction pur-

The vessel was literally oblifernted, q

SUNDAY SERMONS.

Sermons appropriate to decoration
day were preached in this city. Rev
Mr.. Bray, of the Congregational church,
gave an instructive history of the chief
causes which led to the rebellion of the
South in the late war. The younger
members of the audience were put in
possession of facts which might have
been learned from books, but were so
compactly stated by the preacher as to
save time in looking through volumes.
Older persons alsO had their memories
refreshed of important facts which are
in danger of passing out of mind. He
commended the liberality of Congress
in pensioning Union soldiers.
Rev. Mr.. Stein delivered discourse
Sunday morning of much interest. He
traced the progress of our country from
its small beginning up to its present
position of progress. He sketched the
wars through which the nation has
passed, all of which had a successful
termination by the enlargement of
human rights. He paid a just tribute
to the memory of the brave Union
soldiers who gave their lives in defence
OF human freedom. Discourses like
these are calculated to inspire a spirit
of patriotism and ft.the rising genera
ton to take the rank of heroes, should
the exigencies of our country ever re-
quire their services.
1t is understood that memorial day
for the Union soldiers was referred to
in other churches in the city.

1t will appear to most of our readers
too early to commence the agitation of
the question, who shall be the next
Presidential candidate of the Republic
cans. But whether too soon or not, the
discussion has commenced in earnest
in some quarters, and ere long will be-.
come general throughout the Union.
Politics on this question will not down,
and the people may as we'll prepare for

fore ought not to be put forward again
is unfair; if that were all the objection
it would be unreasonable to urge it
Every one knows that the defeat of
Blaine was caused by a mere accident;
the imprudent utterance of an old

class of voters, which turned the scale
of the nearly equally-balanced great
